Residential Flood in East Hanover, NJ

One of our Emergency EMS Crew Teams quickly responded to clean up and dry-out this residential water flood damage, caused by an unexpected broken hot water heater that leaked water into the home's Dining Room, Living Room, Kitchen, Hallway, Foyer, and Furnace Room. Some of the baseboard molding needed to be removed in the kitchen, foyer, and hallway areas, but in the main area the molding was able to be saved. In this case, the soaking wet non-salvageable floating floors, and underlayment were immediately bagged and disposed of before damaging mold growth could set in, and also possibly affect the sheet rock walls. An antimicrobial agent was applied to the affected areas, and the appropriate number of air movers and dehumidifiers were immediately set up to dry-out the space. Often, if possible, we try to save, dry-out, and clean the flooring or carpeting.
